A Simple And Lazy Way To Fix - Pvp

Half all damage players deal to players and further half the elemental defences in PvP

Why?
There are two prominent problem in PvP, players one shot other players, and unkillable tanks. I'm not going to tackle into the problem of cactus and poison builds here coz that just complicate things.

Wynncraft is 99% PvE game, spells and damages are designed to damage 500k hp bosses, not a 10k hp player. So most people just one shot the players, forcing people to build rainbow defence and tanks, which brings me to the next point. Rainbow tanks are basically a product of poor calculation in elemental damages and defences. These mechanic are not a problem in PvE situation, but again, in a good PvP game (not wynn), you simply don't one shot people or be immortal. I'm not even going to get into the lack of skill based parry and everything mostly base on RNG coz its just a minecraft server. (add a shield that lets you deploy every so often to half damage maybe)

What does this "fix" do?
By halfing all the damage players deal to players (including spells, melee, poison and wets). This forcefully make the duel longer, which seems like dull and pointless but that eliminate the problem of one shotting, to two-three shots. Which doesn't seem a lot at first glance, but actually when you're not getting one shot by others, much more skills are at play to make you survive and damage the opponent. Turning a PvP duel experience into more skill based and not RNG or luck based.

Further halfing elemental defences seems counter intuitive to what I just said, but infact that makes elemental tanks much more susceptible to damages so they are less immortal. On the other hand, if you don't have much elemental defence at the first place, you won't have much big of a problem and the damages you take wouldn't change much anyways.

Why suddenly make this suggestion?
To compliment Selvut's nerfs and rebalances coming, less all rounded damage tanks should exist and people would be directed to maining one or two elements, if not a rainbow build. There won't be much in between, and thats the between part thats mostly the problem in PvP (ofc theres cactus and poison those cancer #nerfpoison) Also to prove that actually this age old question can be dealt with on a simple way as well.

Into the Future
Is this idea perfect and usable? No, its just an suggestion. From the fact that wynncraft doesn't bother to look into PvP we know that it isn't much in the devs' eyes, so a simple and lazy fix is needed so they can feel like oh shit we can make people happy by doing this and that. Is halfing damages and defences enough? Might not be, but further testing is required, who knows if the devs actually take this idea in mind might PvP might actually be fun.

Before you roast me in the comment remember this is just a simple and lazy way to fix PvP, not the best and all-rounded way.

 

I was expecting "remove the nether"
disappointed

 

How about we remove PvP entirely, we'd be better off without it. No more duels, no more Nether. Make friends, not rivals.

/s

 

How about we REVAMP the nether?

 

That's not the solution.

 

TLDR just remove the nether

#MakeNetherBalancedAgain

 

I've tried pvping in the nether before I'm not sure if it was just the tims of day but there was almost no one, except the odd level 30 who wandered in, died, and left.

 

We should make nether a PvP Beta-Test server, so we can test all of this kind of suggestions and eventually find the best one.

Btw, this solution is better imo. (To be short, make Defense skill affect every kind of damage)

Here I was on my nice Easter break trying to relax and you send a link to that thread which, to cure my curiosity i had to click on it.
Now my head hurties ;(
Y u do dis to me!!!
So confusing to read!

 

Honestly I don't think anyone really cares about PvP, you play Wynncraft to do quests, not duel people, a the moment some classes are much better than others at PvP depending on what level range your talking about, there would have to be some pretty major changes to make PvP worth anything. I don't really know what i'm talking about rn, I just grinded mobs for 2 hours and its around 1:30 AM, plus I just had a super busy day yesterday, so let's just say I cant think very well right now... I just saw this post and wanted to throw my (sleep deprived) two cents in.

People duel all the time to test builds... Well they used to but now it is broken AF

 

Well guess it is time to bump it XD

 

have you ever SEEN a mage vs mage duel?

 

Mhm I have
